Happy Birthday Karen B.!!!
Today, many of the CrossFit Works women completed the final bench mark workout of the Women’s Challenge. I admit to feeling a lump in my throat watching the pushups. Betty Fournier got 60 pushups-which just happens to be 2 more than her age!! Ellie did pullups. The Get-Some challenge is the only time I ever get to hang out with Sonia, which I’m gonna try to change. Julie, there aren’t even words for Julie. Things doubled and maybe tripled. Linda dropped a pullup band and did more. Alma busted out the jumping pullups which she could barely do before. Renee went from 0 strict pushups to 21!!! Carissa went from 13 strict pushups also to 21. Heather went so wild on the pullups she fell off the bar-hello, 18 kipping pullups!! And on and on and on. There are a couple women who have to do the final workout still and then I will calculate our CASH $$ winner. And super sweetly, unbeknownst to her, Kate W.’s women from her 5:00pm class all wanted to know if somehow Kate could win a prize from their cumulative efforts. That actually brought tears to my eyes. You all were amazing. Andres asked me at the end, “Are you happy? Is that what you wanted from the Challenge?” YES YES YES. You are a group of women who pushed yourselves, challenged yourselves, took responsibility for your achievements and kicked A**!!
What Jen said and more. After the push ups, I think, I looked over at Jen B. and she was so happy with herself that she was laughing saying how many she had done. It was awesome. And Betty, after doing 60 pushups originally, did 35 more in the “how many can you do in 2 mins part” and then Carl says: ” well you did 95 strict push ups so you might as well do 5 more for an even 100″ so she dropped and did 5 more just like that! It was awesome. I loved this challenge and I would jump to do it again if, for no other reason than to spend time with these great ladies.
Great job Mom! Congrats to you and the rest of the ladies. You guys rock.
I mean…you gals rock
Ha, Ellie I think the reason I was laughing was that I did the same number of strict push ups during the 2 minutes of pushups as I did during the max strict push ups part. And then plus more on my knees during the 2 min.
go us!
I’m so proud of everyone! It’s amazing what you gals are capable of! Ellie, you were a bad-ass yourself, I was very impressed. I have to second what you said, Betty was a machine! That was my favorite moment. Heather was a trooper as well, she got right up and shook it off- no big deal. That’s what I’m talking about! I think Kate does deserve something special, she always gives her clients extra effort and goes beyond the minimum. She truly does care. Thanks for doing this Jen, it was AWESOME!
yes, you girls are awesome! Great Job Ellie and Carissa who went from bands to no band pull-ups!
yeah…go us! Ladies of CrossFit Works we looked AWESOME! Had TONS of fun with all you ladies….
Congratulations ladies, you are all winners!
